Description

Some wide-field shots of the Iris Nebula show this dusty dark nearby nebula.  This shot at 640mm focal length focuses just on the nebula formed by several named dark nebulae:  LDN 1155, 1152, 1157, 1148 and several others.  For this submission, the stars were acquired using 45-60 second exposures and the dust with 75-600s exposures. (over two moonless nights).
